An undefined-behavior issue has not been completely fixed since commit
d14f5efadd84 ("tmpfs: fix undefined-behaviour in shmem_reconfigure()").
In the commit, check in the shmem_reconfigure() is added in remount
process to avoid the Ubsan problem. However, the check is not added to
the mount process. It causes inconsistent results between mount and
remount. The operations to reproduce the problem in user mode as follows:
If nr_blocks is set to 0x8000000000000000, the mounting is successful.
# mount tmpfs /dev/shm/ -t tmpfs -o nr_blocks=0x8000000000000000
However, when -o remount is used, the mount fails because of the
check in the shmem_reconfigure()
# mount tmpfs /dev/shm/ -t tmpfs -o remount,nr_blocks=0x8000000000000000
mount: /dev/shm: mount point not mounted or bad option.
Therefore, add checks in the shmem_parse_one() function and remove the
check in shmem_reconfigure() to avoid this problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
